RBE No.132/2006: GDCE – Pay Fixation of Running Staff

No.E(P&A)II-2004/RS-28, dated 15.09.2006

Sub: Scheme of GDCE – Pay Fixation of Running Staff.

1. During the course of examination of a representation, it has come to notice of Board that different methods are being followed while fixing the pay of running staff on their appointment to posts under the General Departmental Competitive Examination GDCE scheme.
2. It is advised that in absence of specific orders from the Board to this effect, the benefit of reckoning of pay element for purpose of fixation of pay of running staff on their appointment to the post under the General Departmental Competitive Examination (GDCE) scheme is not admissible. Further, the GDCE scheme is voluntary in nature and the concerned staff are aware of the mode of fixation of pay on their appointment to the post under the said scheme. Hence, in such cases pay fixation has to be effected without taking into account the pay element.
3. Past cases decided otherwise need not be re-opened.
4. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
